Let’s Communicate: How Art is Generated out of Legends, Lore, Culture and Historical Events
In every piece of Jerry Fogg’s work “there is more in the picture than just the story.” In this presentation, Fogg shares the process he goes through to engage the viewer in the past, present, and future. He makes informed choices about how to incorporate actual items (documents, furs, coins, certificates, etc.) as well as symbols of Native and non-Native cultures. Once, he had a snakeskin for 20 years before it was needed. Another piece has been germinating for 7 years, but Fogg knows it is not time for it to be completed.
